When Florida attorney Tina Jefferson hears her mother's gasping voice on the telephone, she knows something's happened. "What's going on, Mom?" Tina asks. "You sound...worried." "Worried?" the older woman retorts. "Why, everything's wonderful, Tina, what could possibly be wrong? I play shuffleboard every day and we all have such fun." Except, Tina knows, that her mother has never played shuffleboard in her life; she's a successful, lifelong sculptress. So Tina decides to jump into her flying club's airplane and cross Florida to her mother's condo on the west coast to see what's going on. When she arrives, at first glance nothing seems changed. But she soon discovers that a gate guard may have been murdered and residents are frightened. Maintenance fees are escalating, driving some into bankruptcy, and a new crowd of malignant managers has taken over the little island, threatening residents. Using her legal knowledge, Tina tries to help, but soon finds that protecting herself from escalating danger has become the ultimate challenge.

Born in 1928 in the small coastal town of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Genevieve "Sister" Peterkin grew up with World War II bombing practice in her front yard, deep-sea fishing expeditions, and youthful rambles through the lowcountry. She shared her bedroom with a famous ghost and an impatient older sister. But most of all she listened. She absorbed the tales of her talented mother and her beloved friend, listened to the stories of the region's older residents, some of them former slaves, who were her friends, neighbors, and teachers. In this new edition she once again shares with readers her insider's knowledge of the lowcountry plantations, gardens, and beaches that today draw so many visitors. Beneath the humor, hauntings, and treasures of local history, she tells another, deeper story—one that deals with the struggle for racial equality in the South, with the sometimes painful adventures of marriage and parenthood, and with inner struggles for faith and acceptance. This edition includes a new foreword by coastal writer and researcher Lee G. Brockington and a new afterword by coauthor and lowcountry novelist William P. Baldwin.

This very unique memoir is about my wild life I had as an undercover agent battling the evil going on in the U.S. during the late eighties and early nineties when I found out about a huge conspiracy going on with murderous-drug dealers who thought they were CIA agents and may have been hooked up with the Mafia and just may have been planning a civil war. A crazy time I have to tell the world! Keywords: Memoir, suspense, thrilling, spy-novel, murder-mystery, entertaining, satirical, thought-provoking, educational, suicide-prevention.
